Nelson Mandela: Free At Last

On February 11, 1990 the whole world watched as Nelson Mandela walked to freedom. He had been a political prisoner held in a tiny cell for 27 years. In this documentary you will witness Mandela’s struggles against Apartheid and all the injustice suffered by black South Africans eventually leading up to his imprisonment. You’ll learn of the events that led up to Mandela’s release, and hear the powerful first words he spoke when he was finally set free.

Mandela once said “there’s no easy walk to freedom.” Little did he know that he would live out his own words. Apartheid was imposed in 1948 and it divided the country into racial groups: Black, Whites, Colored and Indian. Although the White population was the minority, they owned and controlled 87% of the land and almost 100% of all the natural resources.

For years Anti-apartheid activists around the world demanded the release of Mandela. Their demands sparked countless demonstrations, UN resolutions, and even rock concerts to boost awareness. But nothing much seemed to happen until 1989 when Mandela himself wrote a long letter to the president of South Africa at the time, Botha. In fact, the letter was so lengthy that it filled two whole newspaper pages. In his letter he spoke about many different political and social issues that affected their nation and the world. And he vowed that he would make it his business to play a personal role in facilitating talks. He specified that he was acting on his own initiative in the hope that the ANC would support his actions.

It was South African President F.W. De Klerk that announced to the world that Mandela would be released the following day, February 11, at 3:00 p.m. Although it would have been a lot easier and safer to lift him out of the prison courtyard in a helicopter, Nelson Mandela insisted that he wanted to walk through the gates. His decision became a logistical nightmare due to the massive amount of people that they knew would crowd the place trying to get a glimpse of history.

In 1994, millions of South Africans waited patiently to vote in the country’s first democratic elections. The world was inspired because it was the end of Apartheid; a system in which people were forcefully segregated based on the color of their skin.

Never Believe Anything Until it's Officially Denied

A few years ago, George W. Bush stated “America will not impose our own style of living on the unwilling. Our goal instead is to help others to find their own voice, attain their own freedom, and make their own way.” Nevertheless, the United States’ actions in Latin America are proof that exactly the opposite is true.

The Road We Traveled is an OFFICIAL DOCUMENTARY put out by President Barack Obama to help get himself re-elected. As such, this documentary has a serious agenda and begs the question: propaganda or inspired truth?
